we should not let doctors come into AA and we should not take AA to doctors
what I mean by that is we should focus on staying sober and leave the medical advice to doctors,who are more qualified to examine us and administer medicines.Doctors are a outside issue.Sometimes alcoholics can find a way to tell people it`s ok to take ...whatever.. when it is the doctors place to do so.I would think if it interferes with my sobriety I might want to try someone else to get a 2nd opinion(hopefully a Dr who knows about addiction/alcoholism) or to find something else that works.I`m not pointing a finger at anyone here just to clear that up.I have friends in AA who has PTSD and they seek outside help and are doing great.Sometimes it is nessacery
